To tie in with the first bundle of Psytronik games to be released on the iPhone I also released a C64 disk version of the pack designed to be played on real C64 hardware. Jon Wells C64 Classix (Volume 1) contains the full versions of Sceptre of Baghdad, Escape from Arth (the 2008 Special Edition), Blitz 2000, Blitz 3000 and a specially enhanced version of Shaolin (now entitled Shaolin+, with revamped controls and a new end sequence).
The compilation was originally designed to be a DISK ONLY release as I didn't have bitmap loading screens for the tape versions. That was until Carl Mason stepped in and offered to produce new loading screens for the games - and he did a stunning job with them too!
Hiyaa! Bruise Lei prepares to open a can of whupass on the C64!
The chances of anything coming from Mars ...
... Are NIL - if you bomb their colonies into oblivion!
And that's not all! I'm also pleased to announce that the C64 version of the compilation is also now available as a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD! The special download bundle includes the .tap (tape) versions (complete with the splendid new loading bitmaps and funky FeekZoid choons), .d64 (disk) versions and, due to popular demand, .prg versions of all the main game files - these can be run in devices like the IDE64 and other similar devices.
The tape, budget + premium disk and digital download versions of Jon Wells C64 Classix Vol.1 are NOW AVAILABLE from the Binary Zone RetroStore and will soon also be available for the C64 emulator on iOS devices courtesy of our friends at Manomio.
